As an American

As an American citizen,I look around me,and I listen to what other American citizens are saying,and like me, how they are trying to survive in corporate owned America,and I have to tell you,it"s not easy.The deck is,as they say,stacked against us.We are not represented and our voices are not heard.As an elderly lady said to me recently,"we know who the real terrorists are".We may indeed know,but the laws that our corporate owned politicians have passed only benefit the politicians and their corporate owners.The vast majority of us working folk who pay the majority of taxes are not considered when bills are passed in congress that give breaks to Drug companies,banks,utility companies,or their friends,the wealthy elite.They simply pass the costs on to us citizens and then brag on television to their bought media about how wonderful it is to live in a democracy.I would"nt know because I"m one in a great mass of American workers that is being robbed from on a daily basis by my so called "public servants",and I use that title very loosely.Don"t get me wrong,I believe in paying my fair share of taxes,and I always have paid them because I feel that it"s my duty as an American citizen to support my government,and most every working American I know feels the same way.It"s common for folks to complain about it and joke about it,but when it gets right down to it there is something in the American psyche that makes us proud to do our part,even if it"s a struggle or a hardship to do so.That is what is so very despicable about our present unelected officials.I say unelected because of voter fraud and redistricting that has made a mockery of the word "Democracy".The fact that they have broken the trust with their citizens and lied to us repeatedly has given us a bad heart ,and I"ll be honest with you,it has really surprised a lot of people ,who did have faith in our leaders having the understanding and ability to do the right thing.But now those same people are saying "man, this is nothing but one big mess, led by a bunch of fools".Americans need to know more about our own history,our real history and they would realize that any rights and freedoms that we had gained in the past were hard won.Freedom must be fought for and a constant vigil kept for liberty.Any act,no matter how small,in the fight for freedom,is honorable.We are Americans and we will fight for freedom,even if the Government chooses not to stand with us .It is our duty to ourselves and to the world.
